"In a fair and just society, no one is left behind" Violeta TOMIĆ, General Rapporteur on the Rights of LGBTI People
Anti-gender movements deny the humanity of those who challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, particularly LGBTI persons. Apart from undermining equality, they also endanger democracies. Today, let us stand up for justice and protection for all. #IDAHOT #IDAHOTB
The Stuart Low Trust creates spaces that are open to all and gives those who have been socially isolated a safe space to socialise and explore through arts, nature and wellbeing. We are dedicated to creating spaces where people can come together from different backgrounds and share their stories and bridge gaps.

Real change happens when we take action. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek , even small actions make a difference- listening to a friend, helping someone spend time outdoors, or speaking out to break the stigma. Let's work together to encourage an open, supportive environment where wellbeing comes first.💚
At The Stuart Low Trust, we provide free community activities focusing on arts, nature and wellbeing, including out of hours. Our work reduces isolation and helps people explore their creativity and foster connections in a safe space.

A great day at the RAF Museum ✈️
We explored the RAF museum in Colindale, the group saw and learnt about different World War I and II aircraft, as well as more up-to-date fighter jets and rescue aircraft. Participants said that it gave them a deeper understanding and appreciation for all the work involved in designing these aircrafts and for those who risked their lives to use them.
We were also delighted to welcome two new participants to the group! One of our long-standing participants even said it was the best SL event they’ve ever been to 🙌

Earth Day in Regent’s Park 🌿
Our First Nature outing of this term took Michael and our participants to the home to London's largest collection of outdoor sports pitches, Britain's oldest outdoor theatre and the world's oldest scientific zoo.
From school children litter-picking to spring tulips in full bloom, our walk was a joyful reminder of how nature brings people together. We shared stories about clever pigeons, ancient ginkgo trees, and hidden meanings behind everyday flowers 🌼
Ending with music, community, and sunshine at the bandstand.

Our first nature visit of the year took us to St James’s Park on 18th March with Michael our nature lead.☀️🌸
On one of the warmest days of the year, we joined the crowds to enjoy blooming magnolias and tulips in full colour. A special highlight was watching a bee in action, pollinating as it moved from flower to flower carrying pollen from one plant to another. 🐝
We wrapped up the visit with iced drinks and great conversation, the perfect way to end a spring day.

Charles, a participant at The Stuart Low Trust, took the liberty to write this wonderful poem after attending our Friday Evening Event on March 27th. We sang and danced to Tonia Thorne, an English-Filipina singer and songwriter from North London, who whisked us away with her versatile and warm voice. As Charles mentioned, we sang to tunes from the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, and we could not have had a better night!
Friendly reminder you can drop in to our Friday Evening Events, no booking requires. Find more about our upcoming events via our website.
Thank you Charles for capturing with words how amazing the night was!

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that mental health is just as important as physical health - every single day.
At Struart Low Trust, we believe that no one should have to face their struggles alone. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support.
Let’s use today to start conversations, challenge stigma, and show compassion: to others and to ourselves. A simple check-in, a kind word, or reaching out can make a real difference.
If you’re struggling, please know: help is available, and there is hope.
Together, we can create a world where mental health is understood, supported, and prioritised.
